The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Liu's son was born in early March, and Ping'er got married at the end of March. The two things came together.

Also because Mrs. Liu was going to confinement, Grandma Liu didn't care about Ping'er, so a lot of things fell on Mrs. Lu and the maids.

These people were all unmarried, how could Wang Xifeng feel relieved, and sent Laiwang and his mother out to help the director.Even when she is free, she will go out to have a look, or let the servant girl run back and forth to answer, and there is nothing wrong with the remote control.

The days passed by in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it was March 26, which is a good day for weddings and weddings.

The day when Ping'er got married was also on this day.

As soon as the sun came out, Wang Xifeng led a few maidservants to the house where Ping'er was married. They also brought congratulatory gifts and make-up from Jia Shishi, Mrs. Xing, Sanchun and Baoyu.After all, Ping'er's status is a bit low, and the person she married is only a scholar, so it's not worthy of these nobles to condescend to come here.

Sanchun and Baoyu wanted to come, but Wang Xifeng thought they were young, and Ping'er's house would be very busy today, and she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of them, so she didn't agree to their request.

An'er, Xi'er, and Le'er surrounded Ping'er, and said with a smile on their faces: "Sister Ping'er is so pretty, our brother-in-law will definitely be dazzled!"

Ping'er's face was flushed with embarrassment, and a bit of gaudy color was added to her pretty face, making her look even more charming: "You bastards, who are used to making fun of others, what are you talking about."

"What are you talking about? Of course it's the truth." Wang Xifeng checked the dowry box and heard several girls joking with each other. She couldn't help saying, "People say that the bride is the most beautiful. But I didn't have time to see if I was beautiful. Now that I saw Ping'er's outfit, I realized that it is really beautiful, and it is cheaper than that Lin family boy."

Mrs. Lu and Grandma Liu who were sitting with Ping'er in the room, as well as several grandmas from the Jia family's collateral lineages, couldn't help laughing when they heard the news. The second grandma was still as humorous as ever.

Wang Xifeng looked Ping'er up and down, and saw that she was only wearing her underwear, and her black hair was pouring down like a cloud, but she hadn't had time to dress up when she got up early.It took time for the bride to make up, so Wang Xifeng stopped joking and changed the subject in a few sentences, letting Xi Niang start to put on makeup for Ping'er.

Mrs. Quan Fu, who was invited with a lot of money, had already made preparations. First, she twisted the noodles for Ping'er, and then took a jasper horn comb, and gently combed Ping'er's beautiful hair.

While combing his mouth, he was still chanting auspicious words: "One comb to the end, and the eyebrows are raised; two combs to the end, mandarin ducks fly together; three combs to the end, rich and noble..."

After singing, she quickly and dexterously tied Ping'er into a peony bun, which looked graceful and luxurious.

Immediately, Mrs. Quanfu sat aside and had tea, and Xi Niang came forward to apply makeup on Ping'er, eyebrows, powder, and lips. A charming bride appeared in front of everyone.

After two lifetimes, Wang Xifeng finally got to see Ping'er get married, and she couldn't help but praise with tears in her eyes: "It's beautiful! Our Ping'er is really beautiful!"

Seeing her so excited, Ping'er couldn't help the tears in her eyes. Grandma Liu next to her hurriedly persuaded her: "Miss, you can't cry today. You should cry carefully with makeup. This is a happy event, a happy event."

Having said that, Ping'er still couldn't hold back the tears that flowed all over her face. Wang Xifeng hurriedly wiped her with a handkerchief, and complained to herself: "I'm sorry for making you cry. Today is your good day, so don't worry about it again." Crying, be careful that your eyes are swollen from crying."

After the crowd persuaded softly for a long time, Ping'er finally stopped crying, and Xi Niang stepped forward to put on her makeup again, making sure that everything was correct, and Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xi Niang briskly pinned a small phoenix hairpin inlaid with gold silk peony and red stone on Ping'er's bun, and adorned it with a heart-picking, distracting, hair comb, etc. of the same style, making the black hair full of hair Set off like clouds and fog.Then she put on the same style of ruby ​​earrings, and put on two pairs of jasper bracelets with hollowed-out Baizi Ruyi patterns, and then the maids helped Ping'er put on the wedding dress.

She wore a luxurious red wedding dress, which was carefully embroidered from the finest inner-made cloud brocade, embroidered with phoenix wearing peonies all over it, which was dazzling under the reflection of the rising sun.This brocade was not brought out by Wang Xifeng, but was collected and sent by Lin Qiongte, and it was embroidered by Ping'er stitch by stitch, full of love for the newlyweds.

Seeing Ping'er dressed up, everyone in the room had different thoughts, Wang Xifeng and Grandma Liu were naturally proud, but An'er and the others were full of envy and joy, and the grandmas of the Jia family were a little sad and jealous.But no matter what was in his heart, there were smiles and compliments on his face, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Wang Xifeng wanted to say a few words to Ping'er, and also wanted to make Ping'er loose, so she winked at Lady Lu and signaled her to invite the guests out.

Lady Lu was also worried that Ping'er was too tired, so she smiled and said to the visitors: "Everyone came here early in the morning, you must be a little tired by now, the kitchen has prepared some refreshments, please go out with me to have a cup of hot tea to relieve fatigue. "

None of the people in this room were the ones who didn't wink, and they all got up with a smile when they heard the words, followed Mrs. Lu to the main hall to drink tea and chat, leaving only Wang Xifeng and Ping'er talking in the new house.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, we, Ping'er, have also become brides." Wang Xifeng had a trace of sadness in her eyes. On her son's hair bun, "This is my dowry. It is said that it is a consecrated object. After wearing it, you can live a long life and everything will go smoothly."

"This hairpin has its own set, and now I'm giving you one of them. I hope that you will have a long life like this hairpin in the future."

There are six hairpins in this set, which were specially made by Mrs. Wang Ziteng and sent to the outside of the city for worship. Ping'er naturally knows how precious they are.She didn't want to accept it, but seeing that Wang Xifeng sincerely wanted to give it away, she had to accept it with tears in her eyes, and she was even more grateful to Wang Xifeng in her heart.

The two chattered for a while, and then a little maid brought food up.

The day of the bride's wedding is very tossing. Anything that has a strong taste or a bad smell is not eaten, so as not to make a fool of herself during the salute and make people laugh.Therefore, the things sent by the kitchen are all small, exquisite and filling. The cakes are specially made to be the size of a finger belly, so you don't have to worry about your makeup if you take a bite.

Ping'er was nervous, but he didn't feel hungry, he just ate a few mouthfuls and couldn't eat anymore.

Wang Xifeng is someone who has been there, so she naturally knew how nervous the new bride was, so she didn't try to persuade her. She just asked one of Ping'er's dowry maids to pack up the cakes and take them with her, so that when she was hungry, she would be able to fill her stomach with it.

And the guests outside, after finishing their refreshments, were looking at Ping'er's dowry in the yard.

The full 48 sets of dowries, farms, shops and courtyards, jewelry and costumes, furniture, and thick silver at the bottom of the box have attracted the attention of many people.There are 36 sets here, which were prepared by Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian. Among the remaining [-] sets, Mrs. Lu prepared six sets, and the remaining six sets are the private houses that Ping'er has accumulated over the years.

In this day and age, when a girl from a small official family gets married, there are only 36 dowries. A maid in Ping'er can get 48 dowries, which is really generous and attracts everyone's amazement.

This kind of dowry is put out for drying, the woman's family has a face, the man's family also gets benefits, and the guests also watched it lively, and everyone is happy.

When the sun was slightly slanted, the people from the Lin family arrived. Wang Chenglin led Jia Yun and Jia Cang, the junior members of the Jia family, and blocked the door to prevent them from entering.Lin Qiong and the young men of the Lin family who accompanied the wedding, wrote poems and stuffed red envelopes, begged a lot, and then successfully broke through the barrier of the gate and entered the second gate.

However, she was stopped by a group of girls who were friends with Hepinger. After several times of making things difficult, Lin Qiong was allowed to enter the house until Xi Niang said that the auspicious time had come, and saw the bride who had already covered her red hijab.

This was also the first time Wang Xifeng saw Lin Qiong, she looked really handsome and fair, and also had a bookish air, she really didn't look like a brother raised by a merchant when she went out, no wonder she was able to capture Ping'er's heart.

It's just that Wang Xifeng looked at it, and this Lin Qiong was somewhat familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen him, so he had to forget about it.

Acting as the elder brother of her natal family, Wang Chenglin carried Ping'er on his back and got into the sedan chair. The suona drummer next to him cleared the way, and the servants and maids invited behind walked out the door carrying various dowries.

There are five or six streets between Lin Qiong's house and Ping'er's current residence, and the common people came out to watch the bride along the way.The Lin family was also a big spender today, buying several baskets of wedding candy and wedding cakes, and sent a few servants to throw them along the way, which attracted everyone to scramble for them.

Arriving at Lin's house in such a lively manner, Wang Xifeng is in her natal family today, so it's not easy to follow her to her in-law's house.Brother Yun and Brother Cang's old ladies were different, they were entrusted by Wang Xifeng, and followed the wedding procession all the way, and saw the new couple worship heaven and earth, enter the bridal chamber, and after the dinner, they saw that everything was normal. just came back.

After Ping'er's three dynasties returned home, hearing that everything was going well for her at her in-law's house, Mrs. Lu was bored outside the house by herself, so she packed up her things and moved into Jia's house. □□Medical woman.

But now she also has a daughter, it's not like in the past six months and a few months, she would go out every half a month to see her daughter and son-in-law.In addition, Mrs. Lu bought two orphans out of her own pocket to take with her to teach medical skills, and she just waited for them to be sent to Ping'er after they were taught, and they could also help on a daily basis.

In fact, Ping'er also has two maidservants, both of which she bought herself after she left the mansion. One is called Lilac, the other is called Mulian, and there is also a family of five with one room as a dowry. It can't be packed.Mrs. Lu's move is just to make plans for the future. After Ping'er gives birth to the child, there will be two maids who know medical skills to look after her, so she should feel at ease.

Wang Xifeng, who had a problem on her mind, married off An'er, Le'er, and Xi'er in the following two years, and trained four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter, just to fill the gap.

The four big maids, all dressed in red, got married and were accompanied by a generous dowry. For a while, the position of the maid beside Wang Xifeng became very popular in the Rongguo Mansion.Even Lin Zhixiao, the current chief housekeeper, was moved, and sent his seven-year-old daughter Lin Hongyu into the East Courtyard through the back door, and became a third-class maid.

Now it is inappropriate to talk about the East Courtyard, it should be called Zhaominghoufu.

Because of these two years of work, Jia Lian has not been idle.After he led the craftsmen to research the internal combustion engine, a year later, several huge sea ships sailed out of the port.Four-wheeled cars appeared in the secret research institute of the Ministry of Industry, and even the railway track from the capital to the Chengde Mountain Resort has been laid for less than half.

These people's livelihood infrastructures are nothing more than that, the most rare thing is that the sea ships sent by Jia Lian returned with a full load, bringing a large number of high-yielding seeds!

Sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, these food crops have a large output and do not choose a place, and they can feed as many people as possible.There are also cash crops such as peanuts, rubber, coffee, and quinine, all of which are good things that are useful in the present and benefit in the future.

Such repeated and repeated achievements made today's smile happy, but at the same time, he had to be rewarded repeatedly.

Jia Lian has become the youngest marquis in this dynasty from a second-class light car captain, Zhao Minghou, and he is allowed to be hereditary!

And Wang Xifeng's wife has become a marquis of super quality because of her husband's wealth.

In fact, based on Jia Lian's achievements, even the title of king was made. After all, food crops are related to the country's major plans, and how many people's lives can be saved.However, Jia Lian declined the prince's reward, and instead begged for grace for his father, Jia She. After all, Lao Tzu's title cannot be lower than that of his son.

Therefore, Jia Amnesty took advantage of this shareholder wind and jumped from a first-class general to a marquis of Rong En!

The marquis that Jia Amnesty could not get by relying on his father Jia Daishan in the past, but now he is able to get it by relying on his son Jia Lian. No one in Beijing would say that his fate is good.Relying on parents in the first half of life, and relying on sons in the second half, a proper life is a big winner. I am so happy that Jia She even set up a running water banquet for ten days, and all the people in the past can have a delicious meal on the table.

And since Jia Lian was already a marquis, he was no longer suitable for the predicament in Rongguo Mansion, so he just took this opportunity to make major improvements to Rongguo Mansion.

Rongguo Mansion used to be the mansion of the Duke, but now Jia She is just a Marquis, there are many violations of rules and regulations in the mansion, the first one is the Rongxi Hall.It's just that in the past, because the Jia Shi family was still there, and most of the veteran nobles in Beijing were like this, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng didn't want to make trouble, so they just didn't see it.

But now the Jia family has two marquises. Although Jia She and Mrs. Xing still have Jia Lian's son because Jia Shi is still alive, Jia Lian did not choose to live in the marquis' mansion that is rewarded today, but chose to renovate the Rongguo mansion. .

Today, I am grateful for Zhaominghou's filial piety, and specially granted his request, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to cooperate in the construction of Zhaominghou's mansion.Jia Lian was originally from the Ministry of Industry. Over the past few years, he has earned a lot of face for the Ministry of Industry, and has won the admiration of his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry. Everyone has devoted themselves to building his mansion.

Because Wang Xifeng liked the Grand View Garden in his previous life, Jia Lian specially invited Shan Ziye to design the blueprints. Taking this opportunity, most of the Rongguo Mansion near the east was included in Zhaominghou Mansion.Moreover, Wang Xifeng re-planned the Rongguo Mansion by taking advantage of the fact that many houses in the mansion were in disrepair for a long time.

Not only changed all the places that violated the system, but also completely sealed up the Rongxi Hall, and built a five-entry main courtyard for Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing to live in.The couple had nothing to say about this. When Gein lived in Rongxi Hall, the two of them could only move around in the side room in order not to violate the rules. Now the entire courtyard belongs to them.

The newly built Marquis Zhaoming's Mansion occupied most of the location where the Grand View Garden was located, and was next to the renovated Marquis Rong's Mansion.Although Marquis Zhaoming's Mansion has its own gate, there is also an arch between Marquis Rong En's Mansion, which is convenient for people from the two mansions to communicate with each other, and there is no need to go outside to enter and exit the two gates in daily life.

Under such a busy schedule, Wang Xifeng became pregnant with her second child, and according to the time, it was her sister Qiao from her previous life.

After three years, Wang Xifeng was pregnant again, and the whole Rongguo Mansion was stirred up.And because of the various things in the previous life, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian devoted a lot of thought to this child, even more than before Mao Geer, even Jia Shishi and others couldn't help but pay more attention to it.

Also because of this reason, when Jia She came to have a son, the news that a beautiful concubine gave birth to a concubine and died of blood collapse was like wind passing over water, but it disappeared after stirring up some waves.

Jia Lian did know that this was Jia Cong from the previous life, but this concubine had a deep relationship with him, and he had hooked up with Wang Ren in the previous life, so there was nothing pleasing about it.Even though the current Jia Lian would not anger a newborn child because of the things in his previous life, it would be impossible for him to dote on Jia Cong and take care of him deliberately. It is already kind of him to turn a blind eye.

Jia Cong was born and lost his mother, so he had to be looked after by two wet nurses. After Jia She received the news, he only said that he knew it, and he didn't care about the rest.

Mrs. Xing looked at him pitifully, and would caress him occasionally. As for bringing him up by her side, Mrs. Xing had thought about it. It can be seen that Jia Lian and his wife are not salty, so she dismissed the idea.Now she eats delicious food and drinks, relying on this cheap step-son, even the rank of imperial order has been raised a few levels, there is no need to go against Jia Lian for a child.

The Rongguo Mansion was peaceful and quiet, but the Ningguo Mansion next door was very chaotic.

The daughter of the Jiang family, Xiaozi Xianxian, has been very loving with Jia Rong since she married into Ningguo Mansion two years ago.She grew up in Liaodong since she was a child. She has a sassy temperament and a magnificent appearance. Coupled with a good family background, she soon took over the power of housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion.

At the beginning, Youshi felt very reluctant, she had no children, and there was only one stepmother and two stepsisters left in her natal family, so she really had no support at all.Losing the right to housekeeper is really not good news for You Shi, but Jia Zhen pressured her to hand it over, but You Shi did not dare not give it.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang is very polite. Although she can't compare with her mother-in-law, she is very filial to You, her stepmother.But all the good things that need to be used should be delivered to Youshi's yard first, and after she finishes picking, the rest will be her own, and she doesn't have to argue with her mother-in-law anymore, Youshi gradually feels at ease Come on, and then slowly let go of the knot.

And little Jiang is also very concerned about Xichun, but her seniority is too low to bring Xichun back to be educated. Youshi's ability and reputation are not enough, so Xichun can only be raised in Rongguo Mansion.

But Little Jiang didn't do nothing, she tidied up a yard in Ningguo Mansion, and every now and then she would invite little aunt Xichun to stay for a few days.In addition, the clothes of the four seasons, the daily snacks and tea, etc., are often sent over, which is enough for Xichun, and makes the servants of Rongguo Mansion not dare to despise this young lady.

Logically speaking, a daughter-in-law like Xiao Jiang, who is in charge of the family and director, can go out to socialize in everything.What's more, he is filial and courteous to his parents-in-law and aunts, and he can be soft and hard to his husband Jia Rong, so he should lead a good life.

However, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, the father and son, have become monsters again!This matter is related to the Youshi sisters.

You's stepmother, Youlao Niang, brought two daughters, and her life was not that rich, so she would come to Ningguo Mansion every now and then to enjoy the autumn breeze.Based on the idea of ​​destroying money and eliminating disasters, You Shi gave more or less a few taels of silver every time, and it was right to send off poor relatives and spend money to buy a clean house.

But people's hearts are not enough, and Mrs. You became more and more satisfied as time went on, especially after Mrs. Jiang came in, in order to show respect for Mrs. Every time her natal family came, Mrs. Mrs. Jiang ordered people to treat her well.Even when leaving, in addition to the money that Youshi stuffed, Little Jiang would also prepare another gift in return, which further strengthened the heart of Mrs. You.

The old lady You, who was dazzled by the glory and wealth, looked at her two beautiful daughters and started to cling to the rich and powerful.The first ones she focused on were Jia Zhen and his son, because they were really lustful and shameless, and they had the convenience of being close to the water.

Needless to say, Jia Zhen has always been a perverted villain. Although Jia Rong was punished by Jia Lian and sent to the training camp of the Guards for several years, her nature is hard to change.

After getting married, Jia Lian didn't care about him anymore. When Jiang Shi became pregnant, Jia Rong spoiled the beautiful maids in the yard a lot, and even used the excuse of going out to meet with colleagues, and had a hot fight with a fan outside.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang is a capable person. All the people in and out of the house took over the house, and personally picked two skinny horses from Yangzhou, which temporarily won Jia Rong's heart.

After this incident, Xiao Jiang's heart was also chilled, and she put away all the tenderness and sweetness in the past, and mostly treated Jia Rong only because of face.Fortunately, she got a man in one fell swoop, and she was supported by her natal family. Jia Rong didn't dare to go too far, but she could live on.

Nowadays, these noble ladies of aristocratic families are like this in most of their days. How could those Yingyingyanyans be missing around the masters and young masters of the rich and powerful families.It was Xiao Jiang's relatives and elder brothers, and there were three or five concubines around her. She thought clearly that it was enough to influence her and her son's position to be stable, and she didn't feel depressed because of it.

It's a pity that the miraculous operation of Mrs. You and the You sisters completely broke the tranquility expressed by the Ningguo Mansion, and also caused Xiao Jiang's cruel hands, secretly breaking two of Jia Rong's legs and three of Jia Zhen's legs.
